In the main event of last night’s (Sat. August 25, 2018) UFC Lincoln event, James Vick and Justin Gaethje put on a great scrap.

Vick entered the contest on a four-fight win streak. The Texan was able to finish three of those four victories over some pretty stiff competition. With a win over Gaethje, Vick could solidify himself as a legitimate title contender.

Gaethje came into the fight on back-to-back knockout losses. The former World Series Of Fighting (WSOF) lightweight champ was defeated by Eddie Alvarez and Dustin Poirier. They were the first pair of defeats of his career.

“The Highlight” really needed a win over Vick to remain relevant in any hopes of landing a UFC lightweight title shot.
